   VARIATION (see 6th meeting): After pouring half of the batter into the mold, I add a pistachio preparation made of 30g of chopped pistachios, 20g of sugar, and 10cl of crème fraîche, then I pour the rest of the batter. It creates a quite aesthetic and tasty pistachio filling. You can increase the amounts of sugar and/or pistachios, depending on whether you like it sweeter, more pistachio-flavored, etc. In this case, do not add Amaretto to the batter, as it masks the taste of the pistachios.
